    Ireporter Epiphany

     

    It's true.  I have received enlightment from none other than Kim Kardashian?!?!

     

    CNN sent out a call for ireporters to ask Kardashian a question.  Originally, mine was going to be very harsh and judgmental:  You media whore!  How are you different from Balloon Boy's parents?  After all, Kim leads an outrageous lifestyle designed to lure viewers for her reality show.

     

    I felt incredibly superior until I realized that I do what I can to 1. lure CNN/HLN into accepting my videos, even to the point of making them outrageous, and 2. lure viewers to watch my ireports and thereby give me higher ratings.

     

    How am I different from Kim Kardashian?  That was a very scary realization.  I am glad that my livelihood does not depend upon the media, and I'm glad I get my sense of self-worth from a loving God and from my pets. 

     

    People, after all, favor one thing one day and another the next.  I have to be very careful to NEVER get my self-esteem from humans!
